Brain Examination PLJ Reaction(1/9/08)
I really enjoyed this activity because you really get to examine yourself and see how you think and do things. In the written personality puzzle packet I ended up being a perfect melancholy. This is defined as someone who is deep and thoughtful, analytica, talented and creative, artistic and musical, sensitive to others, self sacrificing, and idealistic as strengths in the emotions category. In the work category the strengths are perfectionist, detail conscious, orderly and organized, neat and tidy, economical, sees the problems, and finds creative solutions. And in the friend category the strengths include Makes friends cautiously, content to stay in the background, avoids causing attention, faithful and devoted, will listen to complaints, can solve other;s problems, and deep concern for other people. In the weakness section of emotions rememmbers the negatives, moody and depressed, low self image, and guilt feelings are listed. the weaknesses in the work category are not people oriented, depressed over imperfections, chooses difficult work, hard to please, and deep need for approval. In the friends category the weaknesses include insecure socially, withdrawn and remote, suspicious of people, unforgiving, full of contradictions, and skeptical of compliments. Most of this is true and it is very interesting to know how I am and how I treat people either in front of them or in my mind.
On the online right brain left brain test I ended up being fifty-one percent left brained and fourty-nine percent right brained. Its pretty close!
I think it is good to know what personality you are so you can maybe try and change the weaknesses or at least hold back on them. I found this fun because in the end when I was reading the results I found myself nodding and agreeing with most of the things listed.
